Questions for people who say Christians can't accept evolution

[humbleseeker]

I think that we "think" we all know what were talking about. In the end I am sure that the answers to all of are questions can be wrapped up in simple answers. I believe in the therory of everything, God is everything. I accept the bible, call me foolish I dont care. I love science, but sadly most secular sceintist are just educated fools.

It's not for us to know. These are the words of Jesus......

Mathew 24:36

³⁶But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Whatever your beliefs (Christian or otherwise), nobody knows when, and nobody should be holding their breath (unless you're CERTAIN that it's in the next couple of minutes!).

come on now. a basic tenet of Christianity is that we are always looking for the Lord's return. that's the most exciting part !!

i would venture to go as far as to say that one wouldn't even be christian if they weren't looking for the return to the unity with God.

And your venture would be an epic failure, "looking for the return" is not a tenant of salvation.

Yes it is a tenant of salvation. Jesus' return the very hope of every believer. It is the end to which we were saved. That is where all of salvation history is headed. If you were saved, you would know that.

Just asking, but why would you care about the coming of the lord.(excepts backlash) If you die and are going to heaven does it matter if that heaven is now, five years, 50 years. If you knew you were going to heaven you wouldn't care when would you. Just wondering. Unless you want all the evil doers to begone with now.

Wrong, "looking" for the return of Christ is not a tenant of salvation. It is something we hope for, it is not a doctrinal point.

The return of Jesus is a major part of Christian doctrine and since it is fulfillment of salvation, it falls as a tenant of it.

I believe that Christ won't be coming back any time soon, though I could be wrong that doesn't make me any less of a Christian.

No one has said otherwise.

Good grief people, you know your essential doctrines like you know the ToS of this forum,

You do not demonstrate any knowledge of genuine doctrinal knowledge thus far. Frankly, all you have been doing is teaming up with atheists to tear down the Christian faith.

which, judging by the sheer number of opportunities you jump at to question others' faith, is not very impressive.

When people hold to views that challenge the teachings of Scripture, they should be challenged.

Who exactly gave you the right to keep tacking beliefs onto salvation?

No one is taking anything on to salvation.

Neither Christ or Paul mentions anything at all about believing in a literal interpretation of Genesis or about actively looking for the return of Christ as essential to salvation.

You miss the point. No one said that salvation hangs on a literal interpretation of Genesis or that such is a prerequisite for salvation. Rather it is how one approaches the Word of God that reveals what is really in their heart. Works don't save us, rather they demonstrate the inward salvation that has taken place or has not taken place.

Saying "I am Christian" but then claiming to reject what the Bible claims, presents a major disconnect. I have elucidated on that disconnect multiple times.

Because it could happen before we die. It could happen this year. The fact that we are going to heaven does not mean that we should not care about the return of Jesus.

I don't know why the evolutionists keep trying to prove an unprovable theory, one would think by now, with all the information we gave them, to de-bunk evolution, you think they would turn and repent. Con-Science, Hal, lurker, Since evolution has been debunked the only thing left is creation. it's not rocket science

Wow. I have to say if evolution was de-bunked we might have heard about it. Maybe a small newspaper headline, or maybe a bit on the radio. No. Oh well, they must just not announce big events like that anymore.

I see where your coming from. I do. From my view if i was going to see him when i died i wouldn't be thinking about it while i was alive. That way it would be a cool surprise if he did pop around for an ould salvation.
